Arts Council presents Mountain Made

Jun 02, 2014

Haywood County Arts Council's Gallery 86 will celebrate the arts and crafts of the Appalachian Mountains with their June exhibit Mountain Made.

The North Carolina mountains have become a favorite home for arts and crafts people who follow the traditions of bygone years, pottery, wood turning, painting and quilting are some of the arts and crafts that were passed down through the years.

The award-winning Bethel Rural Community Organization will exhibit prints, paintings and photographs of historic homes and locations in the Bethel Community. Each Saturday in June there will be a representative in the Gallery from 2-4 p.m. talking about the work done by the Historic Preservation Committee.

On Saturday, June 14, during the Appalachian Festival sponsored by the Downtown Waynesville Association, Michael Pilgrim will be entertaining Gallery visitors with folk music on a variety of musical instruments from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The exhibit runs June 4-28, 2014 with the artist’s reception on June 6 from 6-9 p.m. in conjunction with Art After Dark. The Haywood County Arts Council Gallery 86 is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a. m. To 5 p.m.
